Taft, Ca Anyone going?

Recommended Posts

Anyone going to the 4 way fun meet at Taft this weekend? Bringing an Otter from Perris (when it clears)[:/] Bring out a team and have lots of fun! BB-Q for dinner and keg-o-beer. Hit and chug just before sunset.

WOO HOO... Taft is still open?

Someone was telling me they closed down...



One of them did close down. The one the Jones' used to run. The one I'm talking about is close to that one and run by Dave Crouch.

Yeah, Air Adventures West in Taft closed recently due to a dispute with the landlord. I understand that their King Air is back in service at California City, at least for this weekend. There is also an Otter boogie at the Taft airport. I've seen a bunch of the former Taft people at Elsinore. I really miss the place, even though it was a bit quirky.

OK, who else from Air Adventures West were also e-mailed today by Will? He wrote that the King Air will be up at Cal City this weekend.

I thought that the old Taft crew was going to Chrouch's Taft this weekend to play with the Otter? I want to see the familiar faces at Cal City, but I am probably still going to Taft, instead. (Cal City just told me that they charge $25.00 per jump and do not rent rigs for the day. At Taft, I was told that it's $40.00 per day to rent a rig.) ;)

I hope that others from AAW still show up at Taft. Hopefully, Will also has a great weekend. :)

It's late, but I just returned from Taft. I was there, Ed, and I probably just missed seeing you. There were so many AAW people at Taft today! Wasn' t it nice? :)
Tad and I arrived in the late morning, and I had to wait for them to find a small enough rental rig for me. I was talking to all the familiar faces and just waiting to go on my first jump, when Tom had his cutaway.

I do not wish to post the details. However, he found his main and made 2 more jumps afterwards. B| You can pm me if you want to chat!
